From: pauls at utdallas.edu (Schmehl, Paul L) Subject: FW: BUSINESS PROPOSITION Not really. All the normal elements of the 419 scam are there. It's just another version of the same stupid scam. http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/tcs/techsupp/nigeria.html Paul Schmehl (pauls@...allas.edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas AVIEN Founding Member http://www.utdallas.edu/~pauls/ -----Original Message----- From: Kamal Habayeb [mailto:mountainfury@...mail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 9:21 AM To: full-disclosure@...ts.netsys.com Subject: [Full-Disclosure] FW: BUSINESS PROPOSITION Importance: High A new twist on an old scam? -----Original Message----- From: TANKO YAKASSI [mailto:tyakassi@...scape.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 11:03 AM Importance: High I know that this letter may come to you as a surprise but your contact was given to me by a reliable friend of my father working in dubai Chambers of Commerce, Industries and developement, After I told him that I needed a reliable and honest business partner outside emirates. My name is mr. TANKO YAKASSI. I am a Sierra Leonean and the son of the late Osman Yakassi, former Director-General of the Government of Gold and Diamond Office (GDDO) in Freetown. He replaced the Lebanese business tycoon Mr Jamil Mohamed Saheed who was sacked by the government of President Ahmed Tejan max. Unfortunately, my father was attacked by rebels of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in Kono, Eastern Sierra Leone. He survived the bullet wounds and was hospitalised at the Connaught Hospital in Freetown where he later died of internal bleeding. Before he died, he revealed to me that he has US$ 35.MILLION in an Iron Crate which he lodged in a security company for safe keeping in dubai,united arab emirates. And he registered the contents of the box as gold and diamond which belongs to him and his foreign partner. He also confided in me that he kept the certificate of the deposit and the keys of the box in his safe. As last month, I traced the address of the security company in dubai. a state in united arab emirates. Backed with the certificate and receipt of the part payment, I met the Director of the security company with the receipt for collection of the box. After thorough verifications, he agreed for the release provided I can come along with the foreign partner who is involved in the transaction. Based on this development, I contacted a friend of my father who is working at the Chamber of Commerce to assist me to seek for a reliable, honest and well-established individual that has business foresight, he then gave me your contact as the person he believes will do a fair transaction with me. I propose that you come as the foreign partner concerned so that we can retrieve the money from the security company. I have decided that for all assistance and inconveniences, 20% of the total sum would be yours, while the rest of the remaining balance will be put into investment opportunities in any profitable areas you might suggest in your country or any where else you trust. Please keep this proposal in the most confidential manner and I assure you of our 100% risk free transaction. Please let me be informed of your decision to come so that I can work on your visa. While I close here, I hope that Almighty God will give you the power to do this transaction with me and I am waiting for your urgent responds to this letter. You can send me Email through the above address, Thanks so much for your co-operation. Yours Faithfully MR TANKO YAKASSI. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
